History of the Dragons The Dragons history is almost universal throughout the ancient cultures of the world. Where this global concept originate? How do I describe, record, drawings, prints, sew and carve societies throughout the world these creatures, with such uniformity, if not see these creatures in their lives? Dragon History - Dinosaurs reveals the story of the dragons can be summarized as follows: "The dragons of legend are strangely like actual creatures that lived in the past. Are much like the great reptiles (dinosaurs) that lived land long before the time it is supposed that the man appeared on earth. " (Knox Wilson, "Dragon", The World Book Encyclopedia, Vol 5, 1973, pg. 265.) In light of this statement to The World Book Encyclopedia, many people do not realize that paleontology (the study of previous eras, based mainly on the study of fossils) is a relatively new science. In fact, the concept of dinosaurs (giant lizards) only emerged in its present form less than 180 years. Before that, anyone who found a large fossilized bone assumed it came from an elephant, dragon or giant. There was no idea of \u200b\u200b"science" attached to these findings. It was not until 1841 that English scientist Richard Owens suggested that the group of animals "newly discovered" were called "dinosaurs," which literally means "terrible lizards." Over the following decades, the first performances artists dinosaurs were actually comical when compared to what we can scientifically discern today. How then, pottery, linens, cave paintings, and written descriptions of "dragons" from 2,000 to 4,000 years ago, representing the dinosaurs better than what science could show half of the 1,800? Dragon History - A Summary of Evidence Where are all these stories with stories of dragons? In fact, let's start with the Bible, the world's most published book in history. A search of the word "dragon" in the King James Version of the Bible produced 34 results across 10 different books written from approximately in 2000 BC and 90 AD. The word "dragon" (Hebrew: tannin) is used throughout the Old Testament, and translates as "land or sea monster." In the book of Job, the author describes the great creatures, Behemoth (Job 40) and Leviathan (Job 41). Although the latest Bible translations use substitutes such as elephant, hippo or crocodile instead of Behemoth and Leviathan, the original Hebrew and the context of the descriptions do not allow for these interpretations. Of course, the dragon story is not limited in any way to the Bible. Stories of dragons from China, Europe, the Middle East, and the former Latin America share similar accounts of "dragons" and other beasts. Some cultures revered these creatures. For example: Stories of Marco Polo in China show that the royal house kept dragons for ceremonies, and that dragons were hunted for meat and medicine in the Province of Karazan. Records of the Greek historian Herodotus and the Jewish historian Josephus, describe flying reptiles in ancient Egypt and Arabia. In other cultures, it was a great honor to kill these creatures. There are numerous records of warriors killing great beasts in order to establish credibility in a village. Gilgamesh, Fafnir, Beowulf and other famous legends, including the mythology of Egypt, Greece and Rome, include specific descriptions of dragons and other creatures such as dinosaurs. The history of dragons is revealed numerous objects of ancient art throughout the world. Dinosaur-like creatures are represented in Babylonian landmarks, Roman mosaics, pottery and royal robes of Asia, shrouds and Egyptian royal seals, burial stones and tapestries from Peru, Mayan sculptures, petroglyphs (rock carvings and drawings) of Aboriginal of America, and many other pieces of ceremonial art throughout ancient cultures. What all this evidence really mean? Read on please ... Footprints of Dragons Of Lourella Rouster, reprinted with permission from Revolution Against Evolution (www.rae.org). Originally published in 1978, Creation Social Sciences & Humanities Quarterly (no longer being published), Revised 1997. Almost all of our ancestors believed the earth was inhabited, especially in unknown regions, and dragons. Where did they get that idea? Was it the product of a universal human imagination? A inherited instinct or necessity? A subconscious memory of dinosaurs inherited? All these suggestions have been made, and taken seriously by groups of people. I believe that dragons are a reflection, sometimes embellished through repetition, but mostly historical, of actual physical encounters of humans with dinosaurs. Francis Schaffer, a philosopher-theologian, wrote: "I'm not convinced any Thus, it has been proven that the dinosaurs became extinct before the advent of man. I think there is much evidence, ancient and modern, which indicates that dinosaurs and mankind existed on earth at one time. And human beings in most, but probably lived in different regions than dinosaurs, were in fact on many occasions with the sometimes huge and terrible creatures. The memories of these encounters were so vivid and deep that went to a multitude of cultures as legends, painted on cave walls, represented in pottery, and written literature. Etymology of "dragon" The word "dragon," according to English Dictionary Oxford (1966), is derived from Old French, which in turn derives from the Latin dracon (snake), which in turn derives from the Greek Spakov (snake), the Greek aorist verb, Spakelv (see clearly) . Relates to many other ancient words related to vision, such as Sanskrit: Darc (see), Avestan: darstis (sight), Old Irish: DERC (eye), Old English: torht, Old Saxon: torht, and Old High German : zoraht all means clear or bright. The roots of the word can be found, then, even in most Indo-European languages. This could indicate that it is possible that the immediate ancestor of the word be part of the hypothetical original Indo-European language, which may have been part of the vocabulary of the descendants of Japheth, after the Flood and the dispersion of Babel. The Oxford English Dictionary indicates that Spakelv is derived from the Greek root meaning Spak strong. The connection with dragons is obvious. According to the dictionary, the word was used in English for the first time around 1220 AD It was used in English versions of the Bible from 1340 onwards. Dragons ubiquitous A modern book, The Greatest Monsters in the World,) 1975) contains a chapter called "Dragons everywhere." This title is accurate, because the ancient belief in dragons appears to have been almost universal until we can determine by the prehistoric art, legends, and the world's oldest writings. Dragons in Ancient Art In art, dragons are a motif used in ancient pottery. The subject appears as a decoration on bowls of China even until 202 AD In the book Anne Ross, Pagan Celtic Britain, is a photograph of a subject in a pot belonging to Urnfield ancient culture, which flourished in Europe before 500 BC Bali's culture is the dragon in animal mask of Barong, a good spirit that is central to their dramatic presentations rituals. However, perhaps the oldest evidence is found in prehistoric cave at La Baume, Latronico, France. Discovered in 1940 by Siegfried Giedion, some scientists believe that the cave is 20,000 years (I do not accept dates as old). Peter Costello writes: "Dominating the entire scene appears a snake more than three meters long." As Costello noted, this painting of a creature resembling a dragon "appears at the very dawn of art," whatever the exact date. Lydney Park on the banks of the Severn, in Gloucestershire, England, a mosaic floor of Romano-Celtic origin has been excavated. Seems to be a temple associated with the cult of Nodens river, "the maker of clouds." Prominent in the mosaic are sea monsters that may well be considered dragons. Dragons in Ancient Literature In literature, dragons are indeed an ancient and virtually universal reason. The dragons are in the early literature of the English, Irish, Danes, Norwegians, Scandinavians, Germans, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Babylonians. American Indians, legends of dragons flourished among the Crees, Algonquins, Onondagas, Ojibways, Hurons, Chinooks, Shoshones, and Eskimos of Alaska. One of the most famous Danish fairy dragons in "Sigurd of Volsungs" and refers to "The Death of Fafnir." Sigurd, the hero of the epic, is afraid of the dragon Fafnir, because their footprints are enormous. This surely must be true in the case of large dinosaurs, whether they were considering the same fingerprint or the noise made when approaching. Sigurd hid in a hole, and when the dragon came to water through the heart. Again, if a man would kill a dinosaur this would be a smart way to do it, because it would be beyond the reach of the powerful tail and sharp teeth piercing the creature. Probably the head, neck and heart were really the only vulnerable areas of the vast body. Most dinosaurs were basically water creatures. Therefore, everything in this scene is completely realistic and describes a good strategy game dinosaurs. Sigurd was afraid of drowning in the blood of the dragon This could be another indication of the size of the creature. If the dragon had fallen over the mouth of the hole, the possibility that Sigurd drown in their blood had been very real. As the dragon approached before he blew venom. The Dragon speaks to Sigurd. In fact undoubtedly find about beautification, but this is not surprising in a primitive folk tale was told through countless generations. Sigurd's friend, Regin, removed the heart of the dragon, Sigurd asks if it is roasted and served it. When Regin dragon blood test immediately understand the language of birds. Here again are probably beautification history, perhaps involving the dragons, in a symbolic way to wisdom, a frequent association in early literature. Both the dragon of this early Danish epic tale and the dragon of the old English epic, Beowulf, guarding a treasure. We can only speculate about the origin of this idea. Dinosaur may have stolen some booty, or is it possible that the home of the dinosaurs has been so inaccessible that they imagined ancient caves full of treasures. "Two dragons belong to the same primitive legend? We do not know. The unnamed dragon in Beowulf also spits fire. Is 50 feet long, measured after his death. As with Fafnir, "the inhabitants of the land they were terrified. "is a creature of the night, associated with evil, and described as" smooth "and" hateful. "Dragons Legends and Folklore The Greek heroes who slew dragons are supposed Hercules, Apollo and Perseus. Indeed, the World Book Encyclopedia (1973) says that "each country has its mythology." In Norse mythology, a great ash tree, Yggdrasil, thought to bear the whole universe, had three immense roots. A spreading to the region of death. Niflheim and the dragon Nidhogg gnawed at the root of the tree forever. This precarious situation, which seems to put the entire universe at the mercy of Nidhogg, perhaps demonstrates the deep and consciously or unconsciously rooted fear of the proto-Nordic to the dinosaurs, those terrible lizards. If these terrible creatures threatened the ancestors of the Nordic countries, one can easily understand how this myth may have evolved. The Egyptians wrote the dragon Apophis, enemy of the sun god, Ra. The Babylonians recorded their belief in the monster Tiamat. The Norwegians wrote about Lindwurm, guardian of the treasure of Rheingold, who was killed by the hero Siegfried. The Chinese wrote about dragons in his old book, I Ching, involving creatures with power, fertility, and good health. Dragons also used as a reason in primitive art, ancient pottery, parades, and dances. The Plumed Serpent of the Aztecs may have represented a hybrid his view, between a dragon and another creature. The pottery of the ancient culture of Nazca, Peru, shows a cannibalistic monster much like a dragon. In British Columbia, it is believed that the lake is home Sashwap Dragon Ta Zam-a, and Lake Cowichan that of Tshingquaw. In Ontario, Lake Meminisha is considered the home of a snake-shaped fish feared by the Cree Indians. Angoub is the legendary dragon of the Hurons, Hiachuckaluck the dragon they believed the Chinooks of British Columbia. Dragons are so widely accepted as part of Irish folklore Robert Lloyd Praeger, naturalist, says they are "a accepted part of Irish zoology. "Historian, Dr. PW Joyce, in his book on Irish place names, says:" Legends of aquatic monsters are very ancient among the people of Ireland. "Interpretations of Dragons Many theories have been formulated trying to explain the virtually universal belief in dragons among the people of antiquity. Some have seen the dragons as a product of human imagination, as a result of fear of the unknown. It has been pointed out that even up to 1600 AD, were decorated maps around the edges of unknown regions with paintings of monsters like dragons. Yet it is hard to imagine how such groups of people, widely separated, imagine all virtually the same thing, if this imaginary entity had no basis in reality or in their experiences. In my study of literature at undergraduate level, a common interpretation of archetypes in literature was that people had a universal need to believe in these things, that the human subconscious understand at a deep level the same groups of symbols, perhaps earned through their (supposedly) common evolutionary ancestor. The most common modern interpretation given to myths and archetypes is that they are subconsciously symbolic. One wonders, however, why it is only humanity that has left this old log of his encounters with dragons, and how such memories have been able to survive over millions of years of evolution and change to completely different kinds of animals. For these reasons, even many secular authors have almost, but not a whole to the conclusion that primitive people were found with dinosaurs, and spent the memories of these events through stories of dragons. Peter Costello, who researched lake monster legends and alleged encounters in considerable depth, wrote: "As we reviewed the first reports Irish lake monsters, we find that there is often only a superficial cover of fantasy. Clearly there are real animals behind of these stories. " Encyclopedia World (1973) notes: "The dragons of legend are strangely like actual creatures that lived in the past. Are much like the great reptiles which inhabited the earth long before the time it is supposed that the man appeared on earth . The writer's use of the phrase "supposed to appear" denotes that recognized the problem. It is assumed that the man did not appear until much later, but it certainly seems that the man actually met with dinosaurs, drawing pictures and writing about what he saw. How could he have written about something that lay buried deep beneath the earth, having died millions of years before? Peter Costello has the same problem. "The plesiosaur theory," he writes, "that appeared long ago, still has many supporters, but again the difficulties if you could have survived for sixty million years without being detected. They are very large." Daniel Cohen, author of The Greatest Monsters in the World, also says there is a "sensational possibility" that the legend of the dragon originated with the dinosaurs, noting that: No child who has lived more like a dragon that dinosaurs . There is a problem with this theory. The problem is time. To our knowledge, all the dinosaurs died more than 70 million years. Not so long ago there were people on earth. So that, who could remember the dinosaurs? Cohen said that "some early discoverer of dinosaur bones were called" dragon bones. "But apparently, due to timing issues and development trends are so large in the minds of those who have accepted this model of origins, Cohen boldly asserts that "today's scientists do not identify as most dinosaurs with dragons." The obvious conclusion is that except for his devotion to evolutionary theory, identifying dinosaurs with the dragons would be the logical interpretation of the evidence. Without But only two years after the publication of Greatest Monsters Carl Sagan, a renowned astronomer who popularized the atheistic evolutionist interpretation of science, published The Dragons of Eden, which, despite time constraints and evolutionary development question: "Could there really men who like creatures found Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Sagan said: "One way or another, there were dragons in Eden." Openly evolutionary Sagan's book is subtitled: "Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence." Of course, he does not see the Eden Christian or biblical classic sense of the word. In "Eden" he means an emergent beginning of human knowledge about their existence. And it says that human beings found Rex, but human creatures. "Yet this is a big step in the thinking of those tied to their evolutionary time scale. Dragons in the Bible course for Bible-believing Creationists there are no problems of time or evolution, and the facts of ancient literature and art prehistoric fit well with the biblical account. According to Genesis 1:21-23, water animals were created on the fifth day, according to Genesis 1 :24-25, land animals and man and woman were created on the sixth day. In this way, according to the Bible, all animals were created at about the same time. No there were long ages when man was not present when the dinosaurs controlled the land. The Authorized Version uses the word "dragon" sixteen times, all in the Old Testament, translates two Hebrew words meaning "monster on land or sea." But perhaps even more graphics are some biblical references which use other names for the creatures, but that clearly describe dinosaurs. In Job 40:15, for example, Behemoth is described: "His strength is in his loins, and his strength in the muscles of your womb" (40:16). Behemoth was a huge creature, and reading about it, one who is versed in ancient literature makes it hard not to think Fafnir, primitive dragon famous Danish. Behemoth, we read, moved his tail like a cedar. A big, powerful tail like a cedar tree? What animal can possibly be described as well but a dinosaur? "His bones are like bronze, his limbs like rods of iron" we read (40:18), perhaps reminding Sigurd, trembling because of the strength of the dragon Fafnir. When the author of Job writes, "it did, can make his sword to approach him." Did the writer say that God alone is usually able to kill a creature so powerful? Again, mentally see Sigurd hiding in a hole, waiting for the opportune moment to strike one of the few places in which the dragon is vulnerable. Behemoth is a creature of water, because "the shady trees cover him with their shadow, the willows of the brook surround him" (40:22). This creature has a huge thirst, because "it takes a river" (40:23). What animal other than a dinosaur can be described like that? In the next chapter of Job, we read of another great creature, Leviathan. As with Behemoth, the story speaks of God describing these creatures, and implies that Job was familiar. Job reminds God how difficult it is to catch a creature as the Leviathan. God had created the Leviathan, because it declares, "everything under heaven is mine" (41:11). Leviathan has terrible teeth and scales, or a strong protective cover, typical of many dinosaurs. Do you see Sigurd Fafnir trembling before he reads: "When he (Leviathan) towers, they fear the strong" (41:25)? Job is usually considered one of the oldest books of the Bible, probably written when ice covered large parts of Europe and North America, shortly after the Great Flood. Many Bible scholars believe that some dinosaurs may have survived the Flood, being creatures of water, but due to severe climate change, died a few generations after the Flood. If these creatures of little brains were experiencing difficulties which were not used and poorly adapted, one can easily understand why a tradition of monstrous and fearsome dragons is recorded in virtually all ancient Western cultures, which may have developed during or shortly after Job. The Bible presents this time in history as a time of dispersal (Gen 10:11). Groups of people were moving away from the Ararat, where his parents had landed after the Flood, Babel away from where they had gathered. They were venturing into new lands that would become their homes. All the land was unknown to them. At the same time, major climate changes must have caused the dinosaurs were uncharacteristically hostile. It is true that Eastern traditions have not perceived the dragon as fearsome and evil, as they have in Western cultures. We can only speculate about the reason, but it is possible that groups migrated eastward, simply did not have the horrifying events that their western contemporaries must have experienced. If so, these eastern peoples may have told their children stories of dinosaurs in the same way as those received from before the Flood, when life was ideally suited to its existence, the food plentiful, and perhaps animals and humans not kill one another for food (Gen 9:3). CONCLUSION I propose that primitive humanity was found with dragons, or dinosaurs. This means that humanity evolved millions of years after dinosaurs became extinct, but the two coexisted. Each piece of evidence in itself could perhaps be explained as those who accept evolutionary concepts are prone to do. But the evolutionary model of history that separates mankind and the dinosaurs by millions of years leaves many questions unanswered. How could a person draw pictures of dinosaurs in ancient cave walls, if there were none to be a model? How is it that so many ancient cultures wrote about dinosaurs (dragons), if they were primitive unknown to mankind? What ended up being so realistic the first literary accounts, even the smallest details? The evidence for the coexistence of mankind with the dinosaurs is amazing. I have often heard that if the evidence can be adduced for a number of different disciplines, is a strong indication of the veracity of a hypothesis. Have shown evidence of archeology, prehistoric art, ancient literature, legend and mythology and the Bible. This evidence leads me to the conclusion that human beings, soon after the dispersion of Babel, dinosaurs actually found in the primitive earth, and they drew them, wrote about them and passed them stories of their children. Dragons of ancient art and literature, I conclude, were in fact dinosaurs.
paleontological discoveries in Romania: Dragons Posted on Tuesday, March 7 at 15:18:24 by lunarov
Dino wrote: The Dragons, legendary animals that have fascinated humans for centuries, these myths and legends of different cultures around the world, could have existed. A chance discovery in a cave in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, stunned the world, the legends were true. Specialist Natural History Museum in London, led by Dr. Peter Horgarth, came to Romania after the discovery, trying to dismiss a fraud they found was shocking. A never-before-seen animal was rescued from his bed, along with human cadavers with evidence of charring. Anatomically, this creature has six legs, four legs and two wings. The bacteria in your stomach, produced hydrogen (14 times lighter than air), which was transported to two cameras store to lighten its weight and allowed the flight. Another mystery to solve was the fire. How could this animal spit fire?. The answer encotraba in your mouth. The same hydrogen in your body was used as fuel, however, required a response. The proposed hypothesis suggests the presence of a catalyst: platinum, which was obtained from the sedimentary rocks and the dragon stayed in your mouth. This metal acted as a trigger, causing a spark which reacted with hydrogen. Another important finding was the skull of a Tyrannosaurus rex, with evidence of charring and claw wounds on the top, indicating, according to Dr. Peter Horgarth, a direct attack, possibly a dragon. These animals could have survived the event K / T. Based on the stories of dragons around the world, it is proposed that four types of dragons: dragons prehistoric, sea dragons, forest dragons and dragons of the mountains. It is a fact that man coexisted with dragons and fought them, forced them to migrate to the mountains and the most isolated places, this forced the Dragons to find food among the cattle of nearby populations, which ahorilló man in hunt . It is very likely that the man could cause the extinction of these magnificent animals.
